El Ruso FAQ

Fugitive Fitness was a method born out of necessity.

Due to the living a nomadic lifestyle or having a busy schedule, we aren’t always able to make it to the gym.

But maintaining higher levels of strength and conditioning is a key component to health, and makes everything in life easier.

The foundation of El Ruso is built with a push, pull, squat, hinge and rotate scheme. These are the classic building blocks of many Soviet Era athletes. Banded accessories are added to stave off injuries that can result from muscular imbalances.  The finishers are there to complete the package by developing work capacity, and rapid recovery.

El Ruso was designed to be a simple and approachable way to build and maintain a high level of physical prowess without having to learn a bunch of complicated exercises or the need for a bunch of fancy equipment; all while staying injury free.

You will be provided with a straightforward program using undulating progression to build muscle, increase strength and power as well as dramatically improve work capacity.

Further to that, El Ruso is completely scalable; you are easily able to begin with whatever level you are at, and start working towards where you want to be.

I am a mom and I work in a profession that demands high performance and busy hours. I started El Ruso recently after seeing mediocre results at the gym and HIIT sessions.
I am amazed at the progress I've seen in just a few months using El Ruso. Not just performance and physically, but also with energy levels. I've seen a 30% increase in my commission based income (at least), which I attribute to expertly designed and time saving training that I can do literally anywhere.
The value here is formidable.

I bought this program in mid 2019. I didn't use it in earnest until February 2020, when I was driving to Michigan to care for my dad. I am not comfortable working out in public and it made the long hours in the hotel room pass by nicely, not to mention the sleep I got after a good workout. El Ruso, combined with my combatives training at a local gym, has helped me lose over 40 pounds this year! I'm also getting subtly stronger in ways I never thought of. My fighting stances are more sure and steady, and my punches have more power. I love that the bands provide two ways of resistance and it has led me to much quicker workouts. It's also nearly endlessly customizable. Although I didn't follow the dietary recommendations, they were enough for me to stop and think about what I was consuming, and I found an alternate route in Noom to help me with the psychological and accountability aspects of proper nutrition. I definitely credit the El Ruso program for that prod.

I found maintaining a fitness routine became increasingly difficult with small children. A 15 minute drive to the gym meant you were wasting 30 minutes that could have been used to work out. For this reason, el ruso has been invaluable for me. Combined with the resistance bands and carabiner/paracord setup, I can set up a gym anywhere in my home. I also just picked up the AGRO rope and am planning to add cardio and speed to my routine. Highly recommend this system.

El Ruso is a highly functional program. The content and detail of the instruction is breathtaking. With working in a busy PIC Unit, my time is limited. I no longer have to worry about finding time to get to the gym, the El Ruso program is my gym. I can't get enough of it!

Other than offering a program suitable for any level of physical resistance it also emphasizes the importance of resting to achieve better results. As well as recommendations of the eating habits that one should follow. As a physical trainer myself, I think it is a very complete guide since it is a low impact, working with bands avoids injuries and strengthens the flexibility and mobility. It was surprising for me how much it emphasizes the importance of the form and posture.

I’ve lived, worked and traveled across five continents. In my line of work I benefit from incredible funding, and while stateside enjoy top of the line gyms with all the equipment anyone could ask for. That Gucci stuff isn’t always available when we’re in theatre or on work trips, which is when I turn to el Ruso. Bands, a jump rope, and a sandbag or kettlebell are all I need to maintain strength and conditioning with minimal time. When I’m running on crap food, no sleep, and have to be ready to throw my kit on at a moment’s notice, I don’t have time to screw around with BS that doesn’t work. The protocols here WORK. They keep me strong, and keep me fresh.

I have been doing front line police work for a decade and have 15 years experience in the military as a navy diver. During my time off I pursue international travel. The El Ruso program allows me to stay fit even when I can not make it to the gym while remaining injury free so that I am ready to meet operational demands.

El Ruso helps me stay true to my minimalist lifestyle while improving my overall strength endurance and mobility. With just resistance bands I’m able to do a simple and efficient strength & conditioning exercise just about anywhere without risk of injury or over training! It doesn’t leave me too exhausted for martial arts training or rock climbing. Instead I feel ready to get after anything after El Ruso

After over 20 years in Military, law enforcement, security and the martial arts, I have a great appreciation for the role fitness play in one's ability to perform. El Ruso is a minimalist training regime which gives you the flexibility to build strength and power without costly equipment or memberships. The results are designed to do everything you want (strength, power, flexibility) all without injury. With a few bands, you can travel anywhere and maintain a high level of fitness. Truly a nomadic-ready system. I truly enjoy it.
